  PNP
  Deep ruby core, pink rim.
  Lots of oak on the nose initially, a little black fruit and earth with some air.
  A little tannic and oaky flavors, no real fruit. Short-lived acidity.
  Maybe this needs time to open up, but overall it tastes basic/bland to me.

  Fantastic. Dark Ruby core. Medium to full body. Gorgeous nose of red and dark fruit with a touch of earthiness. Palate is rich with a nice finish.

  Last tasted Feb 2017. Similar to my last tn with more of the red and black fruits being prominent. This is at the top of it's game so drink this now.

  Needed 2+ hours decanted to open up. Great finesse, loamy with a lot of earthy flavors. Not a ton of fruit but still enjoyable.

  Pnp. Dark ruby-garnet that has a light-medium rim in appearance. Dusty black cherries, red currants, and a hint of ripe smoky blackberries on the nose. On the palate, there are blackberries, cassis, some hints of black plums and accentuated by graphite. Medium bodied with a medium finish. Me thinks this is good out of the gate. A repeat buy if offered again; been looking for a "house bdx".
